La Discotheque take disco divas to Manchester and Leeds

Northern fans of La Discotheque have not one but two shows to look forward to in the early months of 2018, with Manchester and Leeds set to enjoy riotous shows at the hands of some of the biggest boogie leaders in the game. Landing at usual home Albert Hall in Manchester on Saturday 10th February and a new spot in Leeds’ Canal Mills on Saturday 10th March, La Discotheque will enter the new year with plenty of dancefloor flamboyance.Manchester has always taken fondly to La Discotheque parties, and with Cassius, Prosumer, Crazy P and Nicky Siano headlining in February, there’s more than enough to get excited about this time too. A secret special guest will join Luke Unabomber and the big-name disco selectors, with Studio 54 icon Nicky Siano sure to leave a lasting impression with his “Hallelujah Disco” set. Calling upon a live gospel choir, the former co-owner of NYC institution The Gallery will draw from 40 years of being at the very centre of the music business. A mentor for legends like Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles, he’s a living embodiment of disco history.The problem that La Discotheque gave themselves with such an impressive Manchester lineup is that Leeds’ disco lovers won’t want to be outdone, but La Discotheque circumvented that problem impressively with a similarly tantalising set of bookings. Norman Jay MBE joins to bring the Good Times, Greg Wilson delivers a dose of the Madchester era, Crazy P makes the trip across the pennines and PBR Streetgang also step up to the plate. A live PA from LisaMillet adds extra spice, whilst Tristan Da Cunha’s sultry tech house, Chris Duckenfield and Pleasure Connection ensure that its quality from open til close.Lineups:
